and at his feet they'll cast their golden crowns

I have a commissions post up on my tumblr! http://muladhara.tumblr.com/post/114582148317/would-you-like-to-commission-something-from-me

So if you want to: BUY THINGS FROM ME!

Usually, when I play ME2, I run around, nobody gives me their loyalty missions, and the plot does not advance. I do not know what is different about Lucas, but everyone gave me their missions all at once. I barely spoke to most of them! (Thane wants so badly to give me his, but I took him on and will not speak to him again because I do not like him).

I accidentally acquired Jacob's and Samara's loyalty (I wanted to bork Samara's on purpose but that did not happen, and I don't know why. Going to look it up on the wiki later). Now accidentally acquiring Jack's because of waiting for the IFF to be installed.

( nattering, including some spoilers and also a bit blah about me3 )

I got my story on the laptop, and the final word count before I started shaping it into a tentative first draft was 16,665 (I've literally added 520 words today, but I wasn't really pushing myself because I spent all day inputting it yesterday).

Since I've set myself a target of 60,000 words (it will possibly run to more than that, eventually), I am dead pleased with the fact that I managed to get a quarter/almost a third written in five weeks. It just proves I can do things when I put my mind to it!

(I've also knuckled down and tentatively asked a couple of friends if they mind giving feedback on the entire thing for me, although I don't have a shareable version yet. Go me!)
